Itrust that everyone had a wonderful holi-day and took advantage of some cher-ished time with Family and friends.
During the holidays I had an opportunityto escape to a favorite hobby of deer hunt-ing.
As the sunrise crept over the tops of thetrees to create a picturesque view from mydeer stand, I had a chance to reflect on theaccomplishments and challenges of 2011and think about my goals for the New Year.
I am grateful to all of you for your con-tinued hard work and dedication to the mis-sion of mobilizing and demobilizingSoldiers.
As we welcome the New Year, I chal-lenge each of you to set goals for yourselfand your team.
As we embrace the New Year, ask your-self the following questions. Are you alwayssetting the standard in mission readiness?
Are you enhancing your military careerwith military and civilian education oppor-tunities while encouraging your team to
seek professional development through fur-ther education?
Have you completed the counselingforms for your subordinates and your evalu-ation support form to your rater?
Are you planning ahead for financial sta-bility and debt management?
Are you empowering others to set andachieve goals to enhance their life?
I challenge you to make a difference inyour life and those that surround you in
2012. It is time to pick up the pace at CSJFTC
as we prepare to welcome the 27th InfantryBrigade Combat Team, New York ArmyNational Guard and various specializedunits that will be mobilizing during theupcoming spring months.
Ensure that we provide them the samestandard of excellence in training and sup-port that Camp Shelby is known for provid-ing.
Thanks to all of you for your dedicatedsupport as we continue the mission of mobi-lizing and demobilizing American Heroes.
It is an honor and a privilege to assistAmerica’s finest patriots as they embark ontheir journey for the continued fight forfreedom.
Thank you for all that you do and keepup the good work.

By CHAPLAIN (Maj.) TERRY PARTINCSJFTC Staff Chaplain
Hiker Bob managed to take thewrong trail in the “Here’s my life”wilderness. He began to wander
aimlessly wondering if he would see hisfamily again.
Three agonizing days later, he managedto bump into one of the many search par-ties looking for him.
Hiker Jim also lost his way in the samewilderness.
He wandered aimlessly for a shortwhile till he found a clearing on a hillabove a stream.
There, he built a small fire and restedon a log, eating sparingly from the snacksthat he had packed in his trail pack.
Early the next morning, the rescuersfollowing the stream saw a whiff ofsmoke and quickly found Hiker Jim safeand sound, enjoying a snooze by the fire.
Both of the young men had survived;one with little trauma the other, well notso little.
One was prepared. The other was not. The first guy, he just went out for a
walk. He didn’t think about getting lostso he had made no plans for the “just incase” in life.
The second guy, he didn’t plan to getlost but planned for the possibility.
Both enjoyed a walk in the woods, bothgot lost, both were rescued. One wan-dered and wondered. The other walkedwith a purpose and made the best out of atough situation.
As we face the New Year, we canchoose to simply wander and wonder howit may turn out or we can begin to makeplans.
True enough, we cannot plan for every-thing but we can avoid wandering and
wondering. Following a few hiker guide-lines could save you a lot of anxiety andconcern in this New Year.
A successful Hiker starts with a goodmap. A good hiker may not know the ter-ritory but he has a good map that does.
No hiker wanting to survive more thana few hours on the trail will go withoutone. The map will help him know wherehe is and what kind of terrain is ahead.
In life, we need a good blueprint ormap of life.
For me, I start with the Bible. Every one succumbs to one philosophy
or another. I have chosen to base mine onthat which has helped so many navigateboth the good times and the bad times inlife.
I don’t always know what the next turnmay hold but I have a way to look at lifethat will help me get through whateverhappens. A successful hiker learns fromthe experience of others.
Recently my son and I took anovernight trek on the Pinhoti Trail innorthern Alabama.
A trail guidebook as well as a parkranger both warned us of a section of thetrail that ran through a boulder field mak-ing the trail markers very difficult to find.
Being fore warned, we anticipated thedifficulty and made certain that we hadplenty of the day’s light to navigate theobstacle.
Because we had knowledge from theexperiences of others, we had no problemfinding our way.
The scriptures remind us that we aresurrounding by a “great cloud of witness-es” (Hebrews 12:1) who have gone beforeus.
As you look at the New Year ahead ofyou, pay attention to those who havewalked the trail that you are beginning to
walk.A successful hiker never goes it alone. Even if the hiker is hiking alone, expe-
rienced hikers always let someone knowwhere they are going and where theirintended destination is.
The Ranger at the park allowed us toleave our vehicle in the parking lot of thecamp store. He simply asked that we puta piece of paper in the window notingwhen we left, our general direction, andwhen we would be back.
He said if we didn’t show up when wesaid we would, they would start lookingwhere we were supposed to be.
I was grateful for the extra security.Unfortunately, there are many who reallytry to traverse life’s difficulties withoutletting anyone else in on the plan. Godnever intended for us to walk alone.
From a biblical standpoint, I call thisthe Aaron principle. Almost every personthat God used in a real way had an Aaron.Moses was the first.
When God called him to lead the nationof Israel, God gave him Aaron to walkwith him.
Joshua had Caleb. Paul had Timothy and many others. Experiencing life without someone
along side of you may end in disaster. Ihave often asked God for a mentor or peerwhom I can trust.
For me, these folks are mostly found inthe Christian community that I take partin.
They don’t always walk the entire trailwith me but walk a portion of it.
A successful hiker also carries the rightequipment with him.
Hiker Bob spent a couple of miserablenights in the wilderness because he didn’tpack well for the journey.
Hiker Jim also spent a rough night inthe wilderness but did so with ease simplybecause he had taken some basicswith him.
In life, we need to take
some basics with us. Packing a good atti-tude, a little kindness, a lot of hope, and alittle trust go a long way in making thedifficult times better.
We seldom are able to change life butwe can always change our attitude. If wepack bitterness, self pity, or hopelessnesswe are generally left more lost and con-fused than when we began.
You will, more than likely, run intosome difficulties this next year.
Be prepared. Do not lose your way.Prepare to navigate life.Don’t just wanderand wonder, walkwith purpose.
20 Listen toadvice andaccept instruc-tion, and in theend you will bewise.
21 Many are theplans in a man’sheart, but it isthe LORD’spurpose thatprevails.

By CMD. SGT. MAJ. STEVEN CHANCELLORCSJFTC Command Sergeant Major
First, I would like to start by saying Ihope everyone had a blessed Christmasand a happy New Year. I trust all of you
had a safe holiday and enjoyed spending timewith your Families.
Thank you again for a tremendous firstyear as Camp Shelby’s Post CommandSergeant Major.
It has been a very rewarding year and Iappreciate all of the support from each of thedirectorates and civilian employees whomake it possible in providing great leadershipand training here at Camp Shelby.
Some of us may have become a littlerelaxed over the holidays with physical train-ing.
As members of the United States Army andthe Mississippi Army National Guard, we arean organization of standards and discipline.
Maintaining height and weight and per-forming the APFT to standard are a must foreach Soldier in the U.S. Army and NationalGuard.
The next scheduled annual APFT is in Mayand I encourage each of you to start prepar-ing. NCOs make sure that your team is strongphysically and mentally.
As NCOs, we should diligently live up toThe NCO Creed, The Soldiers Creed and TheArmy Values.
The two most important responsibilities ofan NCO are mission accomplishment and thewelfare of our Soldiers. NCOs, ensure youare upholding the Army’s standard by main-tain discipline, government property andtraining Soldiers.
Ensure that your personnel’s quarterlycounselings are scheduled and completed.
It is important that NCOERs are on trackfor completion and that all personnel areseeking career advancement opportunitiesthrough civilian and military education.
As we embark on new challenges inJanuary, always remember safety duringextreme weather conditions.
South Mississippi is known for the chang-ing weather and can sometimes experience
hazardous driving conditions. Be aware of icyroads while traveling and training.
Ensure your team’s alert rosters are updat-ed and an inclement weather plan is in place.
Ensure that you continue the standard ofexcellence while completing the mobilizationoperations for the 37th Infantry BrigadeCombat Team of the Ohio Army NationalGuard, the 230th Sustainment Brigade of theTennessee Army National Guard and also the116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team of theVirginia Army National Guard.
Get ready to welcome the 27th InfantryBrigade Combat Team of the New York ArmyNational Guard and ensure they receive thesame standard of excellence that we areknown for.
Thanks team for your continued hard workand steadfast attitude for success.
God bless you, your Families and this greatCountry.
NCOs lead the way!
